It is preferred for its easy melting but when it melts it emits chemicals which can be annoying for some people. You can purchase 20 oz paraffin wax in your first attempt. Bees wax, soy wax, wax flakes or burned, used or old candles can also be melted to make a new candle just like you will melt the wax.
